RESULTS: The DSAEK group comprised 32 eyes (28 patients) and the control group, 32 eyes. The mean anterior K, posterior K, and true net power were 42.53 diopters (D) +/- 1.52 (SD), -6.80 +/- 0.55 D, and 40.55 +/- 1.79 D, respectively, in the DSAEK group and 43.60 +/- 1.62 D, -6.20 +/- 0.31 D, and 42.49 +/- 1.57 D, respectively, in the control group. The posterior radius of curvature, anterior and posterior K values, and true net power were statistically significantly lower in DSAEK eyes than in control eyes (P<.01). The equivalent K readings were significantly lower in all zones in DSAEK eyes than in control eyes (P<.01). The mean CCT was significantly higher in DSAEK eyes than in control eyes (628 +/- 46

mu m versus 553 +/- 35 mu m) (P<.01).

CONCLUSION: The true net power of the cornea decreased significantly after DSAEK, mainly because of an increase in posterior curvature.”
“The magnetocapacitance Vorinostat order and magnetoresistance of Gd3Ba2Mn2Cu2O12 AZD7762 price (Gd-3222) has been measured in the temperature range of 2-300 K. The capacitance increases with increasing temperature from 2-300 K, and exhibits a steplike

feature at similar to 95 K (for 1 kHz). On increasing the probe frequency this step gets broaden and shifts to higher temperature similar to 150 K (for 75 kHz). The observation of frequency dependence in capacitance and dielectric loss (tan delta) exhibits Maxwell-Wagner type relaxor behavior in this compound. Magnetocapacitance was observed on the application of magnetic field. No observable magnetoresistance could be observed in this compound, indicating that the magnetoelectric coupling observed from the dielectric constant measurement with and without magnetic field, is of capacitive origin. The results Vactosertib mw of magnetocapacitance and magnetoresistance of the Gd-3222 compound are presented in the light of current interest in exploring manganite systems for multiferroic properties.

“This study aims to investigate the

role of Abscisic acid (ABA) in water potential and turgor variations as well as growth recovery during the first phase of a rapid water stress induced by PEG6000. Two wheat varieties (Triticum durum L.), MBB (more tolerant) and OZ (less productive under drought), were grown in aerated nutrient solutions. Leaf elongation kinetics of the growing leaf 3 was estimated using LVDT. Water potential was measured using a pressure chamber; osmotic potential was estimated from expressed sap of elongation zone, turgor pressure of the same zone of leaf three was estimated directly by pressure probe. Growth rapidly ceased for a period of about one hour after the addition of PEG, gradual recovery was then observed for about 2 h. A significant difference was found in the % recovery of Leaf Elongation Rate (LER) and ABA between the two varieties, leading to better water status in MBB compared to OZ.
